India is the land of Ayurveda. Ayurveda is the art and science of using herbs, minerals, and naturally produced substances to bring balance to body and mind by inculcating a balanced diet and healthy lifestyle. Shilajit is one of the oldest mineral resin that has been used in diet by ancient Ayurvedic practitioners for a healthy and strong body.

FORM

It is present as a bituminous substance in its natural form. The matrix is gummy and composed of organic matter.

BOTANICAL NAME

The botanical name of Shilajit is Asphaltum.

COMMON NAME

Mineral pitch is the commonly referred name of Shilajit.

SANSKRIT TEXT AND SHILAJIT

Shilajit has been quoted in many ancient texts. In the ancient texts of Ayurveda it has been referred as silajatu, shilajatu, and shilajit. The Sanskrit word Shilajit stands for Destroyer of weakness and Conqueror of mountains. This can be attributed to its predominance over mountains and its rich anti-oxidants that help in providing ample energy to human body.

OCCURRENCE

Shilajit predominantly is found in the Himalayan terrains in India. The range runs between Arunachal Pradesh in the east to the west zone consisting of Kashmir. The resin is also found in neighboring areas of India including but not limited to Pakistan, Nepal, Tibet, Bhutan, and China. It is believed that different geographical zones have Shilajit with varying physiological properties.

FORMATION OF SHILAJIT IN NATURE

The Ayurvedic texts of Susruta Samhita and Rasarangini quote that Shilajit is a vegetative derivative. It is found in exude of rocks of mountains. Rasarangini quotes that Shilajit is a gum- resin that is an exudation from the mountains. This extract comes out of the rock fissures during heat and summer months.

The resin is formed by compression of humus and other plant and organic matter over thousands of years. The micro-organisms present in soil decompose plant and animal matter slowly over a period of time and this results in formation of organic matter rich in minerals and other nutrients. This matter is known as humus. It is very rich in organic matter and is extremely beneficial to soil and other plant growth. The humus present in Shilajit consists of around 60-80% of organic mass.

It is believed that the Himalayan Mountains rises up to 1 centimeter each year. When this happened over a period of time, the slow movement resulted in a dense tropical jungle in the sea bed. So as the ground was pushed up to become mountains, the plants underneath was trapped for thousands of years. They got preserved in this way as they never came in contact with any chemical or artificial mineral products. So, the humus that formed from these was pure, organic matter with no adulteration at all. The resulting dense, viscous, organic rich matter formed was Shilajit. In the winters, the Shilajit would remain frozen in the rocks and every summer it would ooze out as a gummy resin from the cracks in the rocks.

COMPOSITION

The Himalayan mountain ranges in Asia have abundance of this resin-Shilajit. It is loaded with minerals and nutrients like fulvic acid and humic acid. These two acids are added to the soil to make it rich in minerals for a better plantation. The human dietary supplement effects of these two acids are still under study. (1)

Ayurvedic practitioners call is it the ''Destroyer of weakness''. This is not related to any health claims but owing to their general beliefs as stated in the Sanskrit Vedas followed by the Ayurveds. Recently, scientists have found traces of Dibenzo Alpha Pyrones in the Shilajit plant. This active ingredient basically acts as a strong and effective antioxidant. Therefore it protects the nervous system including the brain and the nerves from getting damaged by free radicles. This scientifically explains why the Vedas state Shilajit as the weakness destroyer. A study done on the heart, liver, and kidney cells said that the Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) levels increased by 29% by addition of Shilajit. CoQ10 helps boost the energy and activity of these cells.(3)

To support this belief a study was done in which the participants were given a dose of 200mg Shilajit extract per day for a period of 15 days. The participants reported being more energetic and most of them had a sense of rejuvenated body functions. The energy component in their blood samples before and after a vigorous workout schedule was equivalent. This was termed "energizer bunny component" of the Shilajit. (2)
